@alessandrawhite just finished a 7.55km walk, that lasted for 79 minutes.
This walk helped alessandrawhite burn 668.0 calories.

Description from Strava: It’s no surprise to anyone that the week before you take a trip is busy, but for Americans this week is known as Thanksgiving week. So even though I’m not in the good Ol’ US of A, but enjoying my creative visa in the UK, things are every bit as busy as if I were stateside. .

@bitterirony has been spending more than half of his time in New England, whilst I have been spending most of my time in Jolly Old England.

He leaves Boston tomorrow so that we can spend Turkey Day and Black Friday together here in LEEDS!

I’ve got several appointments to get everything ready for his visit. None of them have to do with a Thanksgiving feast – Oh no, I ain’t cooking that!

But I am getting all the other things done. Tonight on my return back home from the city centre, it was absolutely gorgeous and I want to share it with you.

In the first photo, you see the Leeds Minster in the evening dewpoint, so all the surfaces are shiny and all of the colours are extra saturated.

This is one of the things I love about the UK that’s so different from the US. In the UK you can have a right proper church and still, to the left AND the right of it you can have a pub!!

“The Local“ for me is called The Palace. The second photo is the front elevation of my closest pub. I love the turquoise paint, the lighting, and even the palm trees that last all year long just like the ones that I have in my own terrace garden.

So here’s to getting ready for Turkey Day! 🦃

About the Athlete: Alessandra's made some cray-cray changes and set new goals in her life recently. One of those is to improve my enjoyment of being fully human (or feline works, too) and to highten my senses with imagination and wonder.
